Partner with us to bring transformative therapies to patients:

  • Single source provider: GMP compliant* mRNA production in small to large scale quantities for all clinical and commercial phases.
  • State-of-the-art process development: With more than 15 years of experience, we tailor our scalable and qualified platform process to your specific mRNA sequence.
  • Fully compliant inspected GMP manufacturing*: De-risk your program by having quality and compliance ensured from the beginning, by manufacturing your mRNA in a facility holding a GMP certificate by local health authorities.
  • Extensive Analytical Capabilities: Enabling success through our in-house analytical development & validation teams.
  • Dedicated Project Management: Ensuring that projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the highest possible standards.

*In 2024, the Hamburg mRNA Center of Excellence has been inspected successfully by the competent authorities and has received the GMP certificate according to Article 47 of directive 2001/83/EC and manufacturing authorization according to §13 German Drug Law for the manufacture of mRNA drug substance for clinical trials.


Key Features of PCR-based mRNA Manufacturing

With our proven PCR-based workflow, mRNA manufacturing is highly reproducible, leading to high quality and mRNA performance.

Icon of arrow in bulls’ eye of a target, representing high performance
High Performance

Through reduced product related impurities and increased mRNA homogeneity, resulting in higher stability and prolonged expression.

Icon of a chemical molecule structures representing synthetic templates; Image title: Fully synthetic mRNA template
Fully Synthetic mRNA Template

Ensuring high quality from the start of the process. IVT template generated in house.

Icon of a beaker to represent purity
Increased Purity

Via cell free process, thereby mitigating microbial DNA, protein and endotoxin contaminants.

Icon of two arrows going in one direction to represent robustness
Robust Scalable Process

Leading to reliable mRNA supply. From mg to multi-gram scale.

Icon of a delivery truck representing sourcing
Debottleneck pDNA Sourcing

10,000 fold less pDNA compared to conventional linearization approach. pDNA only needed according to GMP principles.

Icon with 3 arrows pointing in different direction for customizability
Sequence Customization

Including flexible poly(A) tailing later during IVT template generation, circumventing truncation and pDNA yield limitations when pre-encoded.
